If you placed an order for merchandise and at least one of the following situations applies to you, then you are confirming your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by these Sale Terms: (i) you placed an order via HollisterCo.com (desktop or mobile); (ii) you placed an order via the Pickup in Store feature (i.e. you placed an online order to be picked up in a store) offered on HollisterCo.com; (iii) you placed an order via the HCo mobile application; (iv) you placed an order via an HCo microsite; or (v) you placed an order via the telephone. For the remainder of these Sale Terms, any order that matches at least one of situations (i) through (iv) listed previously may be referred to as an order that was purchased from the HCo "Website."

Order and Acceptance

Each part of an order that you submit to HCo constitutes an offer to purchase merchandise. If you have placed your order through the HCo Website, then, after HCo receives your order, you will receive an email from HCo confirming receipt of your order (usually in minutes). If you do not receive an email from HCo confirming receipt of an order that you placed, then please contact the HCo Customer Service Department at the contact information provided above before you attempt to place another order for the same merchandise. Please note that HCo's confirmation of receipt of your order does not equate to HCo's acceptance of your order.

HCo is not deemed to have accepted any part of your order until the requested merchandise has been shipped and HCo has sent a Shipment Confirmation Email or a Ready for Pickup Email. You may track the progress of your order by clicking here.

If HCo rejects your order due to an error in pricing and/or other information about the merchandise, then HCo will notify you at the email address that you have provided. Once the error has been corrected, HCo will ask you whether or not you would like to re-submit your order to purchase the relevant merchandise. If HCo has notified you that your order has been accepted by sending you a Shipment Confirmation Email or a Ready for Pickup Email, then you will not be required to pay a price that is greater than the price that was displayed on the HCo Website at the time at which you placed your order. If HCo has distributed merchandise that is different from the description of the relevant merchandise (as displayed on the HCo Website at the time at which you placed your order), then you may request a return or an exchange. For additional details, please review the HCo Returns and Exchanges Policy.

Although it is unlikely that HCo would refuse to accept an order, HCo reserves the right to deny any order for any reason, including where the following situations arise:

Error(s) in Billing, Payment, and/or Shipping Information

Some orders cannot be processed due to erroneous information that you have provided, which includes, but is not limited to:

Delayed Shipment or Unavailability of Merchandise

If an item of merchandise is delayed out of the HCo fulfillment center or becomes unavailable, or if there is an error on the HCo Website pertaining to the order (e.g. an error pertaining to the price and/or description of merchandise), then HCo may cancel the order. If this occurs, then HCo will contact you so that you are aware of the situation.

Reshipping of Merchandise

HCo's policies do not allow merchandise to be reshipped in any way. Any order that is being shipped to a "Freight Forwarding Company" will not be accepted. A complete listing of countries to which HCo ships can be accessed by clicking here.

All items in an order will be shipped via the shipping service type selected when placing the order.
